Software Installation

In this chapter, the software driver installation, configuration and driver update/removal procedures are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and DOS. Before proceeding with the software installation, complete the hardware installation detailed in previous chapter.

However, if it is necessary for you to develop your own applications, please refer to the next chapter, “Serial Programming Tools”, for serial programming issues.

Windows NT

Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256.

The drivers conform to Win32 COMM API standard.

If you have already installed the driver and want to re-configure the board and port, please refer to the section, “Configuring Board and Port”.

If you have already installed the driver and want to add or delete boards, please refer to the section, “Adding/Removing Board”.
